★ IMPORTANT INFO AND DIRECTORY TO ALL MY CURRENT WORLDS UNDER CUT, WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED! ★

AHH THANK YOUU and double thank you! they’re becoming an obsession of mine too, definitely expect some art of them together sometime this month to celebrate pride because yarrr

lyra is based off of a tyrannosaurus and vander is based off of a lythronax :]

VANDER ALEXANDRA Vander had been raised in a world of death and anomalies. From the moment she was born, she remembered the smell of industrial cities. Rust, blood, and oil dancing on her senses. She had a very disorganized and inconsistent upbringing, resulting in a lack of emotional connection to most of her family and herself. From a young age, Vander had quickly fallen into a path of violence, resorting to injuring herself and others to process emotions and experiences. She eventually found a thrill in violence. It brought her a sense of purpose and belonging that she had not previously felt before. Vander was merciless, she did not care for innocence. As years passed, Vander became a notorious serial killer. She was well known across smaller wasteland communities as the “Bladeswallower”, a nickname she honed for her preference of impelling sharp objects into her victims’ throats. Vander had an immense curiosity about the saurian body and how much it could withstand, especially in a world where anomalies could twist them at the slightest touch. Eventually, killing became mundane. It was the same thing over and over. That was until she met LYRA. ( as usual... FULL STORY UNDER CUT )

so many reference sheets... why? oh you know, art fight. i'm almost done with my art fight refs though! after this i only have two more, so you'll see those eventually.

this is vander, i've talked about her quite a bit here and on my server, now you can put a face to the name! i hope to start expanding more upon the story/world of kuvorot, but for now i'm just trying to design the cast of characters before i get into more.

THE MAW - LIMINAL BEAST The Maw is a seemingly infinite labyrinth of useless rooms mimicking human architecture, a facade fabricated by the Maw in an attempt to replicate human environments. The Maw first and foremost, is an organism, one that needs to feed off of organic material in order to sustain itself. The Maw is not limited to mimicry human environments though. It will mimic the environment of anything it seeks to devour. It is capable of invading and replicating the fears and pleasures of its prey. The Maw is a multi-dimensional carnivore that exists spontaneously through multiple planes tethered together within vast preternatural veins. (FULL LORE / WIP UNDER CUT)

the maw was a pretty fun creature to work on! this is, obviously, my own interpretations of the viral backrooms sensation. i decided to draw inspiration from the new movie and dabble in some of my own ideas, such as approaching the backrooms as an extra-universal organism rather than a mysterious realm.

i'm itching to write a short story about the maw at some point, and will undoubtedly return to it to draw again eventually! but for now, this is just a fun little project that i could work on to flex my creature design skills :p

i definitely think my art shines the most when i'm drawing grotesque creatures like this, really shows what my favorite kind of thing to draw is haha

I just wouldn't want to keep randomly pinging you without asking. 😅

hello there!

Duck loaf

Duck = cat

that's a wonderful cat

Have I shown you the ducklings yet? If I have, I can send a different pic. But there's also like SIX LITTLE NEW BABIES AND THE MOTHER IS KEEPING THEM AWAY FROM HUMANS LIKE A RELIGION ahhgg I can't get with 15 feet of her I wish I could get pictures they're so cute

OBASI + NOCTIS - NEW REFERENCES ! ( both characters are butch lesbians, she/he! )

Obasi and Noctis have a relationship that cannot be described in simple terms. They have known each other for over twenty years and have forged a bond that is deeper than most— and they— realize. The two had originally met each other at one of the many garden parks throughout Haderia. When Noctis was not covered in blood in the ring, she was putting her knowledge of botany to the test. Meanwhile, Obasi was merely a hobbyist when it came to plant care. Obasi had visited the garden in hopes of finding an allium flower for her collection, which Noctis gladly aided her in finding. Little did they know, this shared interest would lead to a appetite that would quite never be sated. Their love would become nothing short of an ache. Obasi and Noctis, although not "officially" partners, were responsible for raising Mitsue. Mitsue is not their daughter per-say, and they'd rather not be referred to as her parents, but they providied a life for her when nobody else would. Obasi and Noctis have a shared care for Mitsue and when they cannot see eye to eye, they try their best to for her sake. But that isn’t to say they’re necessarily good role models. Due to their incompetence, Mitsue has been raised with a great deal of emotional inconsistency and a personal division between both Obasi and Noctis.

i can't believe it's been 2 years since i updated obasi and noctis' references! initially i was going to post them separate, but i felt that it would be fitting to share them together. they are an unconvential duo after all. most of what you need to know about them as individuals is written on their reference sheets!

i'm so happy with how far they've come. for anyone who isn't familiar with them, obasi and noctis (and mitsue!) are the protagonists of my crime/horror book "blade in the city".

FULL STORY SYNOPSIS UNDER CUT (and height difference for anyone interested lol)

LANDSLIDE - vent

i don't usually share my vent art, but upon looking back at this piece, i felt that it would resonate with some.

i've gone through a great deal of loss and reflection this past year. my grief is immeasurable. i'm getting older and people i love are leaving me, and i've realized i'm not as prepared as i once thought i was. my art is the one thing that has been with me throughout the years and continues to be my lifeline and has kept me going.

i felt like the child in me was gone forever, that my roots were lost. when i drew this, i drew my old childhood sona with a mouse just like i did when i was a kid, and it came to me so naturally even after all these years.

i don't really know what else to say

and i think i've finally started finding that line!

i've been tapping back into that energy i had in high school where i used to just draw anything that came to mind regardless of if it was for adopts/commissions/projects. if there was an idea that had to come out, then i'd let it out. i've gotten a lot better at that now especially with the amount of character designs and art i've been doing, and art truly feels like a passion for me in multiple ways.
